Amanda Turner Pohan “Linqox Criss on The River Ilissus”
Soho20 Chelsea Gallery
This event has ended.
This project is the second iteration in a four part series of installations that follow Linqox Criss – a female presenting avatar created in 2005 by a queer, cis-male user in the online world Second Life. For Linqox Criss on The River Ilissus, the avatar has been reactivated and teleported to the Second Life location known as ‘Ancient Greece’, where she encounters Phaedrus, another avatar, who narrates the origin story of the cicada – a cautionary tale of pleasure and obsession, as told to him by Socrates.
